DIN Rail Mounting & Removal
Refer to the following figure for attaching and removing a unit from the DIN rail. A
spring loaded DIN clip is located on the bottom side. The opposite rounded edge at
the bottom of the top side allows you to tilt the unit upward to lift it from the rail
while prying the spring clip back with a screwdriver. To attach the module to T-type
DIN rail, angle the top of the unit towards the rail and place the top groove of the
module over the upper lip of the DIN rail. Firmly push the unit downward towards
the rail until it snaps into place. To remove it from the DIN rail, first separate the
input terminal blocks from the bottom side of the module to create a clearance to
the DIN mounting area. You can use a screwdriver to pry the pluggable terminals
out of their sockets. Next, while holding the module in place from above, insert a
screwdriver along the bottom side path of the module to the DIN rail clip and use it
as a lever to force the DIN rail spring clip down while pulling the bottom of the
module outward until it disengages from the rail. Tilt it upward to lift it from the
rail.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Wire terminals can accommodate 14-26 AWG solid or stranded wire. I/O wiring
may be shielded or unshielded type. Terminals are pluggable and can be removed
from their sockets by prying outward from the top with a flat-head screwdriver
blade. Strip back wire insulation 0.25-inch on each lead and insert the wire ends
into the cage clamp connector of the terminal block. Use a screwdriver to tighten
the screw by turning it in a clockwise direction to secure the wire (use 0.5-0.6nM
torque). Since common mode voltages can exist on I/O wiring, adequate wire
insulation should be used and proper wiring practices followed. As a rule, I/O wires
are normally separated from power and network wiring for safety, as well as for low
noise pickup.

Digital Input Connections
The sixteen inputs of this model are already wired to accomplish loopback
monitoring of the open-drain outputs, but may alternately be used to monitor input
levels from the field when their tandem outputs are switched OFF. Inputs accept
voltage signals up to 32V, are active-low, and use TTL thresholds for logic transfer.
They additionally are pulled up to Excitation via 10K pull-up resistors installed onboard. Observe proper polarity when making I/O and Excitation connections. Refer
to the following figures to wire the active-low inputs of this model.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow unused I/O channels to float. This will occur if you
operate I/O without also connecting I/O Excitation, as the I/O channels each have
10KΩ pull-ups to the excitation rail. Likewise, failure to connect excitation would
allow channels to pull each other via their pull-up resistors.

The sixteen outputs of this model are open-drain, low-side switches, between the
load and ground (return), and include 10K pull-ups to the Excitation rail (EXC).
Outputs will switch loads up to 32V and 250mA each. You must connect Excitation
to operate the outputs. By virtue of each output channel drain lead being pulled up
to excitation via a 10K pull-up resistor, one channel can pull on another channel if
the excitation rail is allowed to float. Observe proper polarity when making I/O
connections. Refer to the following figures to wire the outputs of this model.

NOTE: Do not allow Excitation to float. You must connect EXC to a voltage source from 4-32V
in order to operate the outputs, and/or properly read back the output state via the inputs.
IMPORTANT – Add Protection with Inductive Loads: Outputs do include integrated reversebias shunt diodes to help protect the output switch from damage due to high reverse-bias
voltages generated when switching inductive loads. But you should add external protection
near the inductive load to prevent these transients from being sent along the connection
wires. Place a diode (1N4006 or equivalent) across an inductive load with the cathode to (+)
and the anode to (-).
For greater drive capability or for switching AC loads, it is common to use an appropriately
rated interposing relay. Add protection local to the relay as noted above when driving
inductive relay coils.
Per UL, when the outputs are used to drive interposing relays for switching AC or DC devices
of higher voltage/current, the coil ratings for the interposing relay shall not exceed 24VDC,
100mA.
EMI Filter Installation
For low CE-rated radiated emissions, the use of split/snap-on ferrite cores on all cables or
harnesses to/from the device as shown in the drawing on the next page is helpful. Use Laird
28A2029-0A2 or similar for I/O, Ethernet, and Power (order Acromag 4001-135) and Laird
28A0350-0B2 or similar for USB cables (Acromag 4001-136). Locate this ferrite by clamping it
outside of all input/output cables or wiring harnesses to/from the module (USB, Ethernet, I/O
group, DC power), and as close to the module as possible. While the use of these ferrites is
helpful to obtaining low CE-rated emissions, it may not be required for your application. Note
also that cables may share a ferrite, but it is not good practice to combine isolated circuits
inside the same ferrite. Separate isolated circuits for increased safety and greater noise
immunity.

Earth Ground Connections
The unit housing is plastic and does not require an earth ground connection. If the module
is mounted in a metal housing, an earth ground wire connection to the metal housing’s
ground terminal (green screw) is usually required using suitable wire per applicable codes.
Circuits wired to power, I/O, and the network should be earth grounded as reflected in the
connection diagrams. The ground connections noted are recommended for best results and
help protect the unit by giving it a low impedance path to ground for shunting destructive
transient energy. See the Electrical Connections Drawings for I/O, power, and network
ground connections.
Note: A USB isolator is recommended when connected to a grounded Personal Computer for
configuration purposes. This will avoid a potential ground loop that can occur if your I/O
signal is already earth grounded, as a PC commonly earth grounds its USB port and this makes
contact with both the USB signal and shield ground which is held in common to the input
circuit return of this module..

CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE
While this is a Modbus TCP/IP I/O module, it can only be configured and calibrated via its Configuration Software over a
USB connection to a Windows-based PC or laptop. USB saves you the trouble of having to already know its IP address
setting, or having to change the address setting of your network interface card to match its domain, in order to
communicate with it. USB software is contained in a zip file that can be downloaded free of charge from our web site at
www.acromag.com. Look for the software zip file 9500462A.zip in the Documents and Downloads page for your XT
product. Initially, you will have to answer a few questions to open a user account and download this file to your
computer. This zip file will extract to an executable file 9500462a.exe, which installs modelconfig.exe executable files in
an Acromag subdirectory off the Program Files directory of your PC. Note that you must have administrator rights to
download and install this software onto your PC or laptop. Once you have installed the software, be sure to navigate to
the Program Files\Acromag subdirectory and select the correct modelconfig.exe software for your particular module. This
same software is also included on a CDROM bundled with the Configuration Kit XT-SIP (see Accessories), but downloaded
from the web will ensure that the software is the most up-to-date. The software is compatible with XP or later versions of
the Windows operating system. The particular modelconfig.exe software for this unit supports five other model
variations—three models with 16 sinking outputs and active-low inputs, and three models with 16 sourcing outputs and
active-high inputs.
Quick Overview
After booting the Configuration software for this model, the
Device/ Communication Setup page will appear. Once you
Select a device & click “Open” to connect to an XT1111-000 or
XT1121-00, your screen will look similar to the following:
The initial configuration software screen for this model
is shown at left. This screen is used to select and
identify USB connected units, and to configure the
Ethernet parameters necessary to communicate over
the network. There are two other screens that can be
selected by clicking their tabs, I/O Config/Test, and i2o
Mapping. A short description of the controls of this
page follows:
Device Select (First Connect to the Unit Here)
 Select from connected modules and Open
communication with them.
 Display the Model, Serial Number, and
Manufacturer of the connected module and report
the status of the connection.

CONFIGURATION STEP-BY-STEP
Getting Connected
This section will walk you through
the Connection-Configuration
process step-by-step. But before
you attempt to reconfigure this
module, please make the following
electrical connections.
Connect I/O
1. Connect I/O: Refer to Input and Output Connections at the front of this
manual and connect your I/O as required for your application.
2. Connect Excitation: You cannot operate the I/O channels of this model without
connecting excitation across the EXC & RTN terminals on the unit. I/O channels
are pulled up to the EXC rail with 10KΩ resistors and must not be allowed to
float. This model requires an excitation supply from 4-32V (52mA minimum).
The actual required current capability will depend on your loads and voltage
level. You can choose to connect to Excitation via terminals on the unit, or via
optional terminals that connect to the module’s bus connector along the DIN
rail (See Power and Excitation Connections). Outputs will not operate properly
if you do not connect Excitation.
Connect Excitation
Connect Power
Connect
PC/USB
Configure
3. Connect Power: You need to connect power from 12-32V to power this
module. You can choose to connect to Power via terminals on the unit, or via
optional terminals that connect to the module’s bus connector along the DIN
rail (See Power and Excitation Connections). Current required will vary with
voltage level (refer to Specifications). Your supply must be capable of
providing at least twice the maximum rated current for your voltage level.
4. Connect to PC via USB: Refer to USB Connections of page 9 and connect the
module to your PC or laptop using the USB isolator and cables provided in
Configuration Kit XT-SIP.
Now that you have made your connections and applied power, you can
execute the XT11xxConfig.exe software to begin configuration of your unit
(software is compatible with XP or later versions of the Windows operating
system). Note that the same software is used for both DIO models, XT1111000 with 16 sinking outputs, and XT1121-000 with 16 sourcing outputs.
IMPORTANT: Allow the unit to fully power-up and establish its Ethernet
connection before attempting to open USB communications with the unit using
the XT11xxconfig.exe software (wait ~30 seconds after powering-it up to give it
time to initialize).
Note that you do not connect your module to an Ethernet network in order to
configure it. It is configured for network operation by initially connecting to USB
and a host PC running model-specific configuration software running under a
Windows operating system. This has the advantage of not having to know the
modules IP address setting, or having to change the address setting of your network
card to match its subnet address, in order to talk to it.

Ethernet Setup
You can use the [Get] button to retrieve the current Ethernet setup of the connected module (sometimes the Active

You use the Ethernet Setup portion of the screen shown above to specify the network communication parameters
required to communicate with this module over Ethernet. You may have to consult with your network administrator to
complete the contents of this page. The function of these parameters are defined below:
An IP Address is a unique identification number for any host (this module) on any TCP/IP network (including the internet).
The IP address is made up of four octets (8 bits), each octet having a value between 0-255 (00H-FFH). It is expressed here
in decimal form, with a period placed between octets.
The Subnet Mask is used to subdivide the host portion of the IP address into two or more subnets. The subnet mask will
flag the bits of the IP address that belong to the network address, and the remaining bits that correspond to the host
portion of the address. The unique subnet to which an IP address refers to is recovered by performing a bitwise AND
operation between the IP address and the mask itself, with the result being the sub-network address.

Device/Communication Setup…
Gateway Address refers to the IP Address of the gateway this module is to cross, if your local area network happens to
be isolated or segmented by a gateway. Typically, it is assigned the first host address in the subnet address space. If a
gateway is not present, then this field should contain an unused address within the host subnet address range.
NOTE: In order to network your PC with an Acromag module, you may have to consult with your network administrator
and either temporarily change your TCP/IP configuration (see TCP/IP Properties of Network Configuration in Windows),
or create a separate private network using a second network adapter installed in your PC (recommended). The necessary
steps will vary with your operating system. Refer to Acromag Application Note 8500-734 to help accomplish this (located
on the CDROM shipped with your module or via download from our web site at www.acromag.com).
The DNS 1 Address refers to the IP address of the first Domain Name Server used on this network. A DNS server relates
symbolic address names to actual numeric IP addresses, while the DHCP server is responsible for dynamically passing out
IP addresses.
The DNS 2 Address refers to the IP address of the secondary Domain Name Server used on this network. A DNS server
relates symbolic address names to actual numeric IP addresses, while the DHCP server is responsible for dynamically
passing out IP addresses.
The Host Name is the name to be assigned to this host if its address happens to be assigned dynamically using DHCP.
The Addressing Method refers to how this network module will obtain its IP address when connected to its network.
Static addressing is exactly as the name implies—static, and represents a unique fixed IP Address that is generally
assigned by your service provider or system administrator. The Default static IP address assigned to this module is
192.168.1.100 (refer to product side label).
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) refers to a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a
network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. In
some systems, it can even change while it is still connected.
This module can support three different network protocols simply by changing its installed firmware (Modbus TCP/IP,
Ethernet IP, or ProfiNet). The Protocol addressing method refers to allowing the particular application protocol specific
to this model to set the IP address (Profinet generally requires this).
By default, the module is setup to use Static IP Addressing and a default Static IP Address of 192.168.1.100. You can
optionally choose to have the IP address assigned dynamically via DHCP, but this will additionally require that you specify
a valid Host Name to retrieve the address from. Choosing Protocol gives the application protocol permission to assign
the address.
You can click the [Send] button to write your Ethernet Setup parameters to the unit once you are done making your
selections. This completes any changes made on this page.
The status field will indicate the status of your sent parameters over USB after clicking [Send]. The Network field will
indicate the current network connections status as well as the protocol used for this network. The Configuration field
will indicate whether the configuration is from an open device, or a default configuration.
You can click the [Exit] button in the lower right hand part of this screen to exit the Configuration Software, or simply
click on another tab to access another page before exiting this software.

Watchdog Timeout: Specify a time from 1 to 65534 seconds. A time of 0 or 65535 will disable the channel’s watchdog
timer. If no channel read or write activity occurs during this period, a watchdog timeout will be triggered and the channel
will be written to the watchdog state (On or Off) you specify in the next field.
Watchdog State: This is the state that you want the output to go to following a watchdog timeout.
Output Auto-Refresh: You can specify that outputs should be rewritten periodically to ensure they maintain their
programmed state following a digital upset, perhaps by some extraordinary transient event. This is also useful to reset an

data. For example, if you are using i2o to send this unit’s input information to the output of another unit, or its
complimentary active-high XT1121-000 unit, and you wish to invert the ON state logic sent to the target device. This only
applies to the input logic of this model, not its output control logic, as setting an output to “1” always turns it ON
regardless of this option setting.
Tag Name (up to 8 characters): You can give this I/O channel a name to document its purpose if desired. This is not used
by the firmware and just serves as a convenient label for discerning its I/O function or application.

I/O Test
This portion of the screen allows you to selectively turn outputs on or off and read the current state of the tandem
inputs. Each channel has a simulated LED lamp that flashes and displays “1” when the corresponding output is ON, and is
solid dark red and displays “0” when it is OFF. LED state indication accurately reflects the actual state of the output drain
as it utilizes the tandem input channel to read back the drain state. Optionally, for simple input monitoring of field inputs
(with corresponding output OFF), you can click the [Start Polling] button to periodically read the digital input states.
IMPORTANT: The open drain outputs of this model include tandem input channels that monitor the state of the drain. If
your intent is to monitor inputs from the field, you must turn the corresponding output OFF, or you may generate
contention between the field signal and the channel output when it is ON. Note that all DIO channels have 10KΩ pull-ups
to Excitation and you must connect I/O Excitation to operate the outputs.
Channel Button (Toggle): Click this button to toggle the corresponding DIO channel output ON or OFF.
Start Polling Button (Toggle): Click this button to Start/Stop periodic polling of the DIO input channels. Their states are
indicated in the simulated lamp color and the contained “0” indication for OFF, “or 1” indication for ON (assuming that
the Invert Input Logic function is set to “No” or disabled).

i2o Mapping Page
Click the “i2o Mapping Page” tab of the Configuration Software and the screen below will be displayed:
This model includes a special remote messaging function called i2o, for input-to-output communication. This capability
allows it to send its digital input information (or its inverted digital input information) over the network to digital outputs
on an identical unit, or another compatible unit (like the XT1121-000). The i2o Mapping Page shown above is used to
setup i2o by specifying the IP address of the target module (output) to send input channel data to, either upon change-ofstate, or cyclically at the update time specified.
IMPORTANT: i2o refers to an Acromag proprietary method of input-to-output communication, done over the network,
without other hard-wired connections between inputs and outputs. This is not a Modbus TCP/IP function and the i2o
mapping feature of this model may only be configured via this software. As such, there are no Modbus registers for
specifying i2o parameters. Under normal operation, this module is designed to function as a Modbus TCP/IP slave/server.
By the Modbus standard, Modbus servers are not allowed to initiate messages on their own and may only respond to
client/master requests. Thus, the i2o functionality of this unit is a special application that may cause confusion for some
other master/client devices linked to the same network. In any case, other master devices on a network should be
restricted from attempting to control i2o target devices on the same network to avoid contention.

i2o Mapping Page…
With i2o, a client-server network connection is established between a sending-module (client) and a target output
module (server). This connection refers to an established data path, or socket, between the client input device and server
output—it does not refer to just the physical network connection between devices. It is similar to other client-server
network connections that are created for the exchange of data between devices, such as that between a Modbus Master
and slave, or that between a networked PLC, HMI, or other client device and its target server module.
This model has 16 DIO channels, or four groups of 4 digital I/O channels. Group 1 refers to digital I/O channels 0, 1, 2, and
3. Group 2 refers to digital I/O channels 4, 5, 6, and 7. Group 3 refers to digital I/O channels 8, 9, 10, and 11. Group 4
refers to digital I/O channels 12, 13, 14, and 15. Each group of 4 input channels may be mapped to a corresponding group
of 4 output channels on another XT1111-000 unit, or compatible unit (like XT1121-000). The digital input data of this unit
may be sent cyclically according to an update time, and/or upon change of state.
You can choose to maintain this connection by enabling Keep Socket Open, or to open and close the connection for each
i2o message. If Keep Socket Open is disabled, then you should specify an i2o Update Time at the client that is less than
the watchdog time of the server, to ensure that the server’s output watchdog does not time-out during the period
between i2o updates. Thus, it is generally recommended that you Keep Sockets Open, except perhaps where it costs you
money to maintain an open connection, or if infrequent i2o messages might cause your server’s watchdog timer to
timeout.
The i2o messaging function works best if the target module(s) are already online and ready to receive messages.
However, it will still work if the target output module comes online after the input module, but may take several minutes
to “discover” the network targets and begin transmitting to them. If this input module or the target module(s) go offline,
remote i2o messaging will resume on its own when the connection is re-established, but this “healing” function may take
several minutes depending on which device(s) went offline, why, and for how long.
It is not recommended to set an i2o update rate greater than 99 seconds while also choosing to “Keep Sockets Open”, as
increasing bandwidth and shortening response times is not a concern when cyclical messages are spaced farther than 99
seconds apart. But be conservative when setting an update time—shorter intervals than needed may unnecessarily
increase network traffic and longer intervals will conserve network bandwidth. Note that digital inputs only map
externally to digital outputs of other target modules at different IP addresses, and inputs are mapped in groups of four, to
output channels of the target device in groups of four, in the same order. Each i2o message will write at least 4 channels
at a time.
To summarize, the behavior of i2o is controlled by the configuration of Update Time, Change-of-State, and Keep Target
Sockets Open as illustrated in the following example combinations:
Update Time
0

Each input group of this device may be mapped to a channel group of another Acromag XT1111-000 or XT1121-000 digital
I/O module at one or two different IP addresses. Subsequent messages will be sent at a periodic rate specified by the
update time. Note that the target output port channels may still be controlled independently via the network, but their
state will be overwritten by subsequent mapped messages when enabled. It is recommended that you do not control the
i2o mapped output ports (target channels) directly, as this could create contention with the i2o control. You cannot use
the USB software to control the state of outputs that are i2o targets.
Group Scroll Bar: Select consecutive groups of 4 input channels, each to be mapped to 4 output channels of another unit,
in the same order, at the Holding Register address specified. You can configure each group separately.
Target IP Address 1 & Target IP Address 2: This is the IP Address of one or two target output devices (another XT1111000 or XT1121-000 module on the network). Each digital input group can only be mapped to an output group at one or
two target IP addresses.
Holding Register Address 1 & 2: This is the Memory Map address of the output channel group (4 channels) of your i2o
target to send this units input data to.
Update Time Field: Specify a time of 0, or from 5-65534 seconds between messages. Specify 0 to turn i2o messaging OFF
(cyclical). If change-of-state is enabled and a time greater than or equal to 5 is specified, your message will be sent both
upon change of state and at the update time specified.
Change-of-State Checkbox: Set ON to enable output updates on change of input state, and OFF to update cyclically
according to the update time.
Keep Target Sockets Open Checkbox: Check this box to keep the communication socket of the target device open after
sending i2o data. Keeping the socket open is helpful to obtain a faster i2o throughput time, as the open and close socket
messages are not required for each message, allowing an i2o message to be sent immediately along an already open
socket. But you should not keep the socket open if you do not require frequent updates, as it does limit the bandwidth
somewhat. So for wireless/cellular systems, or peer-to-peer applications with long intervals between update messages,
you may consider unchecking this box. While still possible, do not Keep Sockets Open and set update intervals greater
than 99 seconds (infrequent messaging with long i2o intervals does not need to keep the socket open).
Status Field (USB): Gives the status of your USB i2o configuration message (i.e. returns the status of the write or read of
the i2o configuration info only).
Get i2o Config Button: Click this button to retrieve the current i2o configuration from the unit. See the Status field for
the status of this operation.
Send i2o Config Button: Click this button to write your i2o configuration to the unit. You may click [Send i2o Config] for
each group, one at a time, or you can step through all i2o channels and then click the [Send i2o Config] button one time
to write your entire i2o configuration. See the Status field for the status of this operation.
Network Home Page
After you have configured your unit for network communications via its USB connection, you can identify the unit on the
Ethernet network using a web browser directed to its IP address (you set this address, the default is 192.168.1.100). This
will access the home page of the unit similar to the first screen shown on the following page. You can click the
“Communication Parameters” link of the Home Page to access the Ethernet Connection Status page shown in the second
screen, useful for verifying your network connection to the unit and its corresponding communication parameter settings.

How It Works
Key Points of Operation
- Unit is DC Powered
- I/O & USB are Isolated from
the network and input power.
- Outputs are connected in tandem
with corresponding inputs.
- Inputs use TTL Logic Levels
- Outputs are Open-Drain, nchannel, low-side switches.
- I/O channels are individually
pulled up to the excitation rail.
- I/O circuit return is common to
USB ground.
This model utilizes 16 smart low-side power switches under parallel digital control
of a 32-bit microcontroller. These switches integrate an N-channel power mosfet to
provide open-drain, current-sinking to return, control of a load. Each drain is pulled
up to the I/O excitation supply rail via 10KΩ pull-up resistors. Each drain is also fed
back to the controller through a 100KΩ series resistor which drives an inverting
input buffer with its input diode clamped to its +3.3V rail, allowing input voltages
well above its rail. Input transitions use TTL logic thresholds and will feed back the
actual state of the tandem drain, or an input state from the field when its tandem
output is turned OFF. Network communication specific to Modbus TCP/IP is
handled by a separate controller on a mating communication board, serial-UART
linked to the I/O board. Power for the I/O and network circuits is provided via an
isolated flyback converter on the I/O board that operates from 12-32V. The unit is
setup for network operation via a USB connection between a host PC and the
microcontroller of the I/O board. The host PC runs model specific configuration
software designed for the particular XT model. Refer to the block diagram above to
gain a better understanding of how this model works.

How it Works…
16 Channel Sinking DIO w/USB & Modbus
TCP/IP
The I/O & USB, network, and input power circuits are isolated from each other. The
USB port ground is common to the I/O circuit return. The USB port ground of most
PC’s is also common to the USB cable shield and earth ground. I/O signals could be
grounded or ungrounded. For this reason, it is recommended that USB signals be
isolated when connected to a PC to prevent a ground loop from occurring between
the PC earth ground and a grounded input signal, which could have the negative
affect of driving digital a upset for severe ground loop currents.
About Modbus TCP/IP
TCP/IP refers to Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol. TCP/IP allows
blocks of binary data to be exchanged between computers. TCP/IP is used worldwide and is the foundation for the World Wide Web. The primary function of TCP is
to ensure that all packets of data are received correctly, while IP makes sure that
messages are correctly addressed and routed. Note that the TCP/IP combination
does not define what the data means or how the data is to be interpreted, it is
merely a transport protocol. Modbus operates on the actual data for this model.
You can find more information on Modbus TCP/IP by visiting our web site and downloading whitepaper 8500-765, Introduction To Modbus TCP/IP.
Modbus is an application protocol. It defines rules for organizing and interpreting
data and is essentially a messaging structure that is independent of the underlying
physical layer. It is freely available and accessible to anyone, easy to understand, and
widely supported by many manufacturers.
Modbus TCP/IP uses TCP/IP and Ethernet to carry the data of the Modbus message
structure between devices. That is, Modbus TCP/IP combines a physical network
(Ethernet), with a networking standard (TCP/IP), and a standard method of
representing data (Modbus). A Modbus TCP/IP message is simply a Modbus
communication encapsulated in an Ethernet TCP/IP wrapper.
In practice, Modbus TCP embeds a Modbus data frame into a TCP frame, sans the
Modbus checksum, as shown in the following diagram. The Modbus checksum is not
used, as the standard Ethernet TCP/IP link layer checksum methods are instead used
to guaranty data integrity.

About Modbus TCP/IP…
16 Channel Sinking DIO w/USB & Modbus
TCP/IP
The operation over Ethernet is essentially transparent to the Modbus
register/command structure. If you are already familiar with Modbus or with the
Acromag Series 900MB Modbus modules, then you are already familiar with the
operation of these modules over Ethernet.
IP Addressing
A Static IP Address is as the name implies—static. That is, it is a unique IP Address
that is assigned by a service provider and never changes.
A Dynamic IP Address is an address that is temporarily assigned to a user by a
service provider each time a user connects.
A Subnet is a contiguous string of IP addresses. The first IP address in a subnet is
used to identify the subnet, while the last IP address in a subnet is always used as a
broadcast address. Anything sent to the last IP address of a subnet is sent to every
host on that particular subnet.
Subnets are further broken down into three size classes based on the 4 octets that
make up the IP address. A Class A subnet is any subnet that shares the first octet of
the IP address. The remaining 3 octets of a Class A subnet will define up to
24
16,777,214 possible IP addresses (2 – 2). A Class B subnet shares the first two
16
octets of an IP address (providing 2 – 2, or 65534 possible IP addresses). Class C
subnets share the first 3 octets of an IP address, giving 254 possible IP addresses.
Recall that the first and last IP addresses are always used as a network number and
broadcast address respectively, and this is why we subtract 2 from the total possible
unique addresses that are defined via the remaining octet(s).
TIP: The first node (0), node 10, and the last node (255 for our example) are typically
reserved for servers and may yield poor results if used.
For our example, the default IP address of this module is 192.168.1.100. If we
assume that this is a Class C network address (based on a default Class C subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0), then the first three numbers represent this Class C network
at address 128.1.1.0, the last number identifies a unique host/node on this network
(node 100) at address 192.168.1.100.
A Subnet Mask is used to determine which subnet an IP address belongs to. The use
of a subnet mask allows the network administrator to further divide the host part of
this address into two or more subnets. The subnet mask flags the network address
portion of the IP address, plus the bits of the host part that are used for identifying
the sub-network. By convention, the bits of the mask that correspond to the subnetwork address are all set to 1’s (it would also work if the bits were set exactly as
in the network address). It’s called a mask because it can be used to identify the
unique subnet to which an IP address belongs to by performing a bitwise AND
operation between the mask itself, and the IP address, with the result being the
sub-network address, and the remaining bits the host or node address.

IP Addressing…
16 Channel Sinking DIO w/USB & Modbus
TCP/IP
For our Example, if we wish to further divide this network into 14 subnets, then the
first 4 bits of the host address will be required to identify the sub-network (0110),
then we would use “11111111.11111111.11111111. 11110000” as our subnet
mask. This would effectively subdivide our Class C network into 14 sub-networks of
up to 14 possible nodes each.
With respect to the default settings of this module:
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 (11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000)
IP Address: 192.168.1.100
(10000000.00000001.00000001.01100100)
Subnet Address: 128.1.1.0 (1000000.00000001.00000001.00000000)
The sub-network address of 128.1.1.0 has 254 possible unique node addresses (we
are using node 100 of 254 possible as our default). Nodes 0, 10, and 255 are
typically reserved for servers and may yield poor results if used.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
DHCP refers to Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and is a method used to assign
temporary numeric IP addresses as required. A DHCP server maintains a pool of
shared IP addresses which are dynamically assigned and recycled. When a DHCP
device wants to use a TCP/IP application, it must request an IP address from the
DHCP server. The DHCP server will check the shared supply, and if all addresses are
in use, the server will send a busy signal to the client which tells it to try again later.
Static IP addresses will ensure a connection every time, but dynamic addresses do
not.
Domain Name System (DNS)
DNS refers to the Domain Name System or Domain Name Server and refers to the
system used to associate an alphanumeric character string with a numeric IP
address. The DNS is actually a distributed database of domain names and
corresponding IP addresses. These servers contain information on some segment of
the domain name space and make this information available to clients called
resolvers. For example, the DNS allows us to use “Acromag.com” as an IP address
rather than a complicated number string.

MODBUS REGISTERS
Modbus registers are organized into different reference types identified by the
leading number of the reference address:
Reference
0xxxx
1xxxx
3xxxx
4xxxx
Description
Read/Write Discrete Outputs or Coils. A 0x reference address is
used to drive output data to a digital output channel.
Read Discrete Inputs. The ON/OFF status of a 1x reference
address is controlled by the corresponding digital input
channel.
Read Input Registers. A 3x reference register contains a 16-bit
number received from an external source—e.g. an analog
signal.
Read/Write Output or Holding Registers. A 4x register is used
to store 16-bits of numerical data (binary or decimal), or to
send the data from the CPU to an output channel.
The “Reference” leading character indicated above is generally implied by the
function code and omitted from the address specifier for a given function. The
leading character also identifies the I/O data type. The “x” following the leading
character represents a four-digit address location in user data memory.
Note: The ON/OFF state of discrete inputs and outputs is represented by a 1 or 0
value assigned to an individual bit in a 16-bit data word. This is sixteen 0x or 1x
references per data word. With respect to mapping, the LSB of the word maps to
the lowest numbered channel of a group and channel numbers increase
sequentially as you move towards the MSB. Unused bit positions are set to zero.
All I/O values are accessed via the 16-bit Input Registers or 16-bit Holding Registers
given in the Register Map. Input registers contain information that is read-only. For
example, the current input value read from a channel, or the states of a group of
digital inputs. Holding registers contain read/write information that may be
configuration data or output data. For example, the high limit value of an alarm
function operating at an input, or an output value for an output channel.

Each module has a default factory configuration as noted in the SPECIFICATIONS
section. Your application will likely differ from the default configuration and the
module will need to be reconfigured for your application. You may only reconfigure
this module using a USB connection to it and running Acromag Configuration
Software. There are no Modbus commands for setting configuration parameters, as
they are only setup through a USB connection to a Windows based host PC.
Below is s a small subset of standard Modbus functions that are supported by this
module along with the reference register address group that the function operates
on. Use these functions to access these registers as outlined in the Register Map for
sending and retrieving data.
The following Modbus functions operate on register map registers to monitor,
configure, and control module I/O:

Data Types
I/O values for this model are generally indicated by a single bit of a 16-bit word for
discrete on/off control or indication, except for watchdog time, which uses an
unsigned integer value in range of 0-65535. For discrete I/O, the bit
number/position typically corresponds to the discrete channel number for this
model. Unless otherwise defined for outputs, a 1 bit means the corresponding
output is closed or ON, a 0 bit means the output is open or OFF. For inputs of this
model, a value of 1 means the input is ON (Active-low < 0.8V), while a value of 0
specifies the input is OFF or in its high state (asserted high > 2.0V). This is the logic
assuming the Invert Input Logic function is set to “No” or disabled.
Register Map
The table at right outlines the
register map for the Model
XT1111-000 network I/O module.
It is very similar to its
complimentary XT1121-000 model
with active-high, sourcing outputs.
Note the memory map for these
models only covers I/O data, as all
reconfiguration is done via USB
prior to connecting to the
network.
Modbus functions operate on
these registers using the data
types noted above (except for the
Report Slave ID functions).

Note: A watchdog timeout is
triggered if an established clientserver relationship to the module is
severed by a cable break or power
disruption at the client. A clientserver network connection to the
module is created for the exchange
of data between devices, such as
that between a Modbus Master
and slave, or that between a
networked PLC, HMI, or other
client device and its target server
module. Thus, a watchdog
timeout can only be cleared at the
server by first restoring the broken
client-server relationship. Clearing
a timeout by restoring the clientserver connection to the module
does not return output(s) to their
initial “pre-timeout” state and they
remain in their timeout states until
otherwise written via the holding
registers, or via Output Auto
Refresh.
Note: The holding register signal
corresponds to the gate signal of
the n-channel output mosfet. The
bit position corresponds to the
output channel number (i.e.
output 0 uses bit 0 of the 16-bit
word at address 0, output 1 uses
bit 1 of the 16-bit word at address
1, etc.) A set bit (1) means the
output is turned ON (sinking
current). A clear bit (0) means
output is turned OFF (open).
Excitation must be provided in
order to operate the outputs. A
read of this register may not
reflect the actual output level at
the drain of the mosfet if the
open-drain is not pulled up or is
left floating. You can read the
Input Registers to obtain the
actual output drain state(s) via
closed loop feedback.

Digital I/O Module
Modbus TCP/IP Support
16 Isolated DC I/O Channels
DC Powered
CE Approved
Includes UL/cUL Class 1, Division 2
approvals
The XT1111-000 model denotes a sixteen channel digital I/O module with 16 sinking
(low-side) switch outputs, and 16 tandem digital inputs, for DC voltage applications
only. This model operates over Ethernet using Modbus TCP/IP. It is setup and
configured using USB. It represents another member of the Acromag DIN-Rail
mounted, “Busworks” family, in the XT Series. Refer to Model XT1121-000 for a
complimentary version with 16 sourcing (high-side) switched outputs. The trailing “000” model suffix denotes DC powered w/ CE & UL/cUL Class 1, Division 2 Approvals.
Individual outputs of this model are open-drain switches for sinking loads up to
250mA and 32V DC each. Buffered inputs are TTL compatible and accept voltage
levels from 0-32V DC. All I/O channels include 10KΩ resistor pull-ups to I/O
Excitation.
Reconfiguration of any XT model will require use of the XT-SIP configuration kit,
ordered separately (see Accessories section).
Models are mounted on standard “T” Type DIN rail and include plug-in terminals.
Power and excitation can be optionally (or redundantly) bussed along the DIN rail
(see Power & Excitation Connections).
Digital Inputs
This model has tandem input and
output channels. Always turn
outputs OFF if using inputs to
monitor field signals.
Sixteen active-low, buffered inputs, with a common return connection (RTN). For DC
voltage applications only. Inputs are tied in tandem to the output drains and provide
loopback monitoring of the output state. With the tandem output turned off, they
may be used to monitor voltage levels from the field. Inputs include transient
suppression and series connected 100K resistors, plus diode over-voltage clamps to
the internal +3.3V supply rail. Individual I/O channels are pulled up to the I/O
excitation voltage (EXC terminal) with 10KΩ resistors. External excitation (the pullup supply) is required for proper operation and is connected between the EXC and
RTN terminals of TB6 (terminal numbers 22 and 21 respectively), or it can be
optionally bussed along the DIN rail.
Input Signal Voltage Range: 0 to +32VDC.
Input Current: 280uA, typical at 32VDC. This is computed as the maximum applied
input voltage minus 4V (3.3V rail and diode clamp), divided by the series 100K
input resistance.
Input Signal Threshold: TTL compatible w/100mV of hysteresis, typical. Low-to-High
threshold is 1.7VDC, typical, High-to-Low threshold is 1.6VDC, typical. Logic limits
are TTL with 0.8VDC Max LOW level, and 2.0VDC Min HIGH level.
Input Resistance: 100K typical (input only), ~10K w/ tandem output pulled up to
EXC via its internal pullup.
Input Hysteresis: 100mVDC typical.
Input Response Time: 10ms typical, not including network time. The actual input
response time will vary with network traffic and interrupts.
Input Transient Voltage Suppressor: Installed at every I/O point, up to 38V working,
47V breakdown, and 77V clamping.

Digital Outputs
This model has tandem input and
output channels.
To control higher voltages and/or
currents, or for controlling AC, an
interposing relay may be used
(see Note).
Note: Per UL, when the outputs
are used to control interposing
relays for switching AC and DC
devices of higher voltage/current,
the coil ratings for the interposing
relay shall not exceed 24VDC,
100mA.
Sixteen open-drain, smart, n-channel mosfet switches with a common source
connection at return (RTN). This model provides low-side or sinking switches
between the load and return for DC voltage and current-sinking applications only.
Outputs have tandem inputs which provide loopback monitoring of the output state.
Individual I/O channels are pulled up to the I/O excitation voltage connected at the
EXC terminal with 10KΩ resistors. External excitation (the pull-up supply) is required
for I/O operation and is connected between the EXC and RTN terminals of TB6
(terminal numbers 22 and 21 respectively).
Output “OFF” Voltage Range: 0 to 32V DC. Limit voltage to less than 36V peak, or
damage to the unit may result. Use protection when switching inductive loads, such
as placing a reverse shunt diode across the inductive load to shunt the high reverse
emf that develops when switching it OFF.
Output “ON” Current Range: 0 to 250mA DC, continuous (up to 4A total for all 16
channels combined up to 60°C). Deration of output load current is required above a
60°C operating ambient, at a rate of -22.5mA/°C per channel up to 70°C maximum
(see Operating Temperature). Group one return (RTN) for each group of 4 outputs.
The derated milliamperes/channel can be computed for a smaller number of
channels (#ch) via the expression mA/ch=16*(1600-22.5*Ta)/#ch, where Ta is the
maximum operating ambient in degrees Celsius from 60°C to 70°C and mA/ch must
never exceed 250mA.
Output Rds ON Resistance: 0.8 typical, 1.6 Maximum.
Over-Temperature Protection w/Thermal Shutdown: Individual outputs will
shutdown and latch off for thermal overload conditions that drive the junction
temperature into the region from 150°-200°C to prevent destruction. In this case,
the I/O pin is pulled high and the output must be recycled OFF/ON to reset the
output (assuming device has cooled below 150°C).
Overvoltage Shutdown: Active during load dump or inductive load turn-off
conditions and will cause the output to shut off if its drain-to-source voltage exceeds
36V. The switch can be turned on again by toggling it OFF/ON after this fault.
Over-Load Protection: The device will switch off to prevent destruction if the drainto-source current exceeds 0.75A. It can be turned on again by toggling it OFF/ON
after this fault condition.
Reverse Polarity Protection: Outputs integrate a reverse diode in the output switch
that shunts reverse current through it, but the current in reverse must be limited by
the load to prevent damage to the output switch via excess power dissipation. Note
that over-temperature and over load protection are not active for reverse polarity.
Output “OFF” Leakage Current: 0.1uA typical, 50uA maximum (mosfet only, 25C,
32V). Does not include the input bias current for the tandem digital input.
Note: The 100K series input buffer resistors in combination with the +3.3V voltage
diode clamps at the input buffer will tend to increase the off-state current with
increasing drain voltage (up to 0.28mA at 32V), as the input buffer circuitry is
connected in tandem to the output mosfet drain circuitry at every I/O pin.
Output Response Time: 10ms typical. Does not include network time. The actual
switch time will vary with network traffic, interrupts, and output load.

General
Note: Do not allow EXC or unused
inputs to float, as this will cause
one I/O signal to pull the other
floating port channels via the pullups and common EXC lead
connection.
Excitation: External voltage is required between the I/O EXC and RTN terminals 22
and 21, or via the DIN rail bus. Excitation must be from 4-32V and 52mA minimum
(at 32V). Inputs cannot properly register the OFF output state if excitation is left
floating. Also, each I/O channel is pulled-up to the EXC rail voltage (minus a diode
drop) with a 10KΩ resistor. Without excitation, one output could pull the others via
this common connection. Thus, you should not operate I/O without connecting
Excitation. The EXC terminal is tied in common to one end of each channel pull-up
resistor (internally the even-numbered pins of a four element resistor SIP installed
for each group of 4 consecutive channels).
I/O Pullups: Individual I/O channels include 10KΩ pullups to the excitation rail, to
pull the open drain output and tandem input high (OFF). An external excitation
supply is typically connected between the EXC+ and RTN terminals 22 and 21 of the
module, or it can optionally be delivered via the DIN Rail bus. The installed resistor is
one element of a four element isolated SIP resistor (8 pins) and rated to 0.3W per
element up to 70°C (refer to Bourns 4308M-102-103LF parts). If your application
requires a stronger pull-up (lower resistance), you will have to wire it externally in
parallel with the internal 10K pullup, being careful that you never exceed 250mA of
drain current per output.
Power
Power Supply (Connect at TB6 terminals 24 & 23, and/or via the DIN Rail Bus): 1232V DC SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage). Observe proper polarity. Reverse voltage
protection is included. Unit can be redundantly powered by connecting power to
both the power terminals on the unit and DIN rail bus (these power inputs are diodecoupled to the same point). Current draw varies with power voltage as follows
(current indicated is with all outputs ON).

CAUTION: Do not exceed 36VDC peak to avoid damage to the unit. Terminal voltage
at or above 12V minimum must be maintained to the unit during operation.
Power Supply Effect: Less than 0.001% of output span effect per volt DC change.
USB Interface
Unit includes a USB socket for temporary connection to a PC or laptop for the
purpose of setup and reconfiguration. USB isolation is recommended when
connecting to a unit that may also be connected to grounded I/O signals. The unit
does not receive power from USB and must already have DC power connected to it
when connecting to USB.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to connect USB in a hazardous environment. Module
should be setup and configured in a safe environment only.
Data Rate: USB 2.0 compatible, up to full-speed at 12Mbps.

IMPORTANT – USB Isolation is recommended: The I/O of this module is isolated
from each network port and DC power, but its I/O return is common to its USB
connection. Most Personal computers (except DC powered laptops) connect their
USB signal and shield ground to earth ground. Without a USB isolator, an earth
grounded USB connection could drive a ground loop with any earth ground applied
at its I/O, which might interfere with operation. For this reason, we recommend that
you always use a USB isolator when making a USB connection to prevent a potential
ground loop from affecting performance. Otherwise, in the absence of USB isolation,
a battery powered laptop could be used to connect to the unit, as the laptop does
not normally connect to earth ground.
Ethernet Interface
Connector: Dual, shielded RJ-45 sockets, 8-pin, 10BaseT/100BaseTX. The metal
shield circuit of the network connectors are isolated and capacitively coupled to the
input power minus terminal via an isolation capacitor.
Network-to-Network Isolation: Network ports are additionally isolated from each
other and will withstand HIPOT voltages up to 1500Vrms, or 2250V DC.
Wiring: Unit includes auto-crossover for MDI or MDI-X cables.
Protocol: Modbus TCP/IP w/USB Configuration.
IP Address: Default mode static IP address is 192.168.1.100.
Port: Up to 16 sockets supported, uses port 502 (reserved for Modbus).
Data Rate: Auto-sensed, 10Mbps or 100Mbps.
Duplex: Auto-negotiated, Full or Half Duplex.
Compliance: IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3x.
Modbus TCP/IP Protocol Support: Up to 10 sockets may be selected for Modbus
TCP/IP. The unit includes a built-in web page for ID on the network using a standard
web-browser, but configuration of the unit is only possible using configuration
software running on a Windows PC and connected via USB.

These limits represent the minimum requirements of the applicable standard, but this
product has typically been tested to comply with higher standards in some cases.
Operating Temperature: -40C to +70C (-40F to +158F). Above 60°C (+140°F),
derate the output current sinking capability as shown in the figure of the following
page. For a smaller number of output channels, you can derate the full combined
load of 4A (16 channels at 250mA each) at a rate of -360mA/C above 60C. For
example, at 65C you can compute a combined maximum load of 4A -(5*0.36A) =
2.2A, or 137mA per channel (2.2A/16ch). This is equivalent to 250mA/channel (8
channels), since you must never exceed 250mA/channel. This data applies to the
unit mounted upright on a DIN rail allowing free air flow from the bottom vent
through the unit and out the top vent.
Storage Temperature: -40C to +85C (-40F to +185F).
Relative Humidity: 5 to 95%, non-condensing.

Configuration Controls
Software Configuration Only via USB
Although this module normally operates using Modbus TCP/IP over Ethernet, it can
only be setup and configured via USB. Its behavior as a 16 channel digital
input/output module is determined via program registers set using a temporary USB
connection to a host computer or laptop running a Windows-compatible
configuration software program specific to the model. This software provides the
framework for digital control of all configuration parameters, and this information is
stored in non-volatile memory.
LED Indicators:
RUN (Green) – Located at front panel. Constant ON if power is on, unit is OK, and
Ethernet cable is properly plugged in. Flashes ON/OFF during initialization, or if it
keeps flashing continuously, then it indicates the network board has not initialized,
perhaps because the network cable is unplugged or defective.
ST (Yellow) – Located at front panel. Blinks if a watchdog timeout has occurred.
ACT (Yellow) – Located on RJ45 port connector. Indicates Ethernet activity, the
Ethernet connection is busy and traffic is present.
Refer to Configuration Step-by-Step in the Technical Reference section of this
manual for detailed information on available software control of this model.
